The Most Delectable Meat Shops in Indianapolis

Kincaid's Meat Market - Fishers

★★★★☆ 4.2 (28)

"This brand new addition to "the Yard" in Fishers was a pleasant discovery. After parking in front of the building on the east side of the north-south access road, I entered the shop portion of this meat shop. There was a rack of food items by the door. There is a U-shaped meat counter with multiple staff available to assist. In the center, a 2-sided cooler has packaged meets and food items.I decided to get some bulk Mild Italian Sausage, some sliced Jalapeno Colby Jack cheese, and after getting a free sample of their house made Ham Salad, decided to get a pound of that. The ham salad was fantastic and I've already tried some on crackers with the cheese. Yum!Very friendly, helpful, and timely assistance from the staff.I wish I lived closer. I could see becoming a regular customer here.Review #3409"

Banter's Fresh Meats

★★★★★ 4.5 (23)

"Just one look at the photo and you can see this Butcher shop has very nice selections of Beef, Pork and Chicken. Their prices seem reasonable and the staff is very nice. They offer a unique a blueberry maple syrup breakfast sausage patty, which I'll try at some point too. What a nice butcher shop! It all looks really good!"

Lahody Meats

★★★★☆ 4.1 (23) • $$

"Lahody's is like the neighborhood butchers that used to exist 50 years ago ever few blocks. Not that I was alive back then! The staff here is very knowledgeable... particularly Matt. Ron is also great guy--he can be a bit gruff at times, but he was a Marine. They always have top quality meats--most of which they source from the Midwest. I appreciate being able to buy meat from Indiana. We always come here for holiday meat--if you want a local turkey, standing rib roast, rack of lamb, or bone-in ham, this is the go-to place in Muncie. They also make some sausages and brats that are pretty good. I haven't bought seafood from here--but it looks pretty good from what I can see. They also have boar's head lunch meats and make some pretty mean sandwiches (out of Gonella bread from Chicago). There is also amish butter and eggs and ham salad and cheese and stuff like that. They have good, though limited, produce (onions, potatoes, carrots, cabbage most of the time).I like dealing with a local business where people know my name. I'd highly recommend going here if you are in Muncie."

Fisher Meats

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8) • $$

"I can't get past the House smoked cottage bacon & House made Garlic Ring Bologna!If you've not had garlic ring bologna (think summer sausage) - you're missing out on a treat and seriously strong breath. This shop is a progeny of the original in Portland IN. (both are great)Solid service, fresh meats and cheeses (and roll butter!).Not the best parking on Walnut street side of building but all good."

Broccoli Bill's

★★★★☆ 4.2 (54) • $$

"Random story: My family went here growing up, back when there wasn't much in Noblesville. My dad also used to always make up bedtime stories for us, and his go-to story was always about a boy named Billy who hid between the potato chip bags at Broccoli Bill's - LOL. I therefore have a deeply-rooted connection to this spot, as it still feels like special folklore to me. *And I'm lowkey still looking for Billy as I shop for chips.*Anywho, I love all of the local items they offer here. From Hot Toddy's baked goods (the carrot cake is amazing) to local meats, snacks, and more, you'll enjoy this mini grocery that's connected to Slapfish (delicious, fast-casual seafood spot). They have a lot of produce here and it's fun to browse. There's a free parking lot out front, making it easy to pop in on a whim. Stop in!"

Munsee Meat

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (2)

"Yay, the first to review! I'm surprised no one has reviewed Munsee Meat yet, but it seems Muncie has less Yelp action. My review is based only on my experience with their new AFM pickup option - that is how I discovered them. You can order online via their website and opt to have delivered (if you live locally), pickup at the store, or pickup at their new AFM machine. The AFM machine is like a meat ATM, when your order is ready they'll send you a QC code, you go to the machine, scan your code and the locker with your order will unlock for you. It's great for socially distancing and no-contact pickup, or even for those ordering from out of town or need to pickup after-hours. I had a little bit of delay with my order being ready in time, because their truck didn't come in. But they communicated that with me and kept me posted on when the truck would arrived.Prices are very reasonable for meat here! Some of the lowest around. 4 lbs of taco meat for only $15! Also great prices on chicken, ribeye, and bacon."

Joe's Butcher Shop and Fish Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (115) • $$

"We've been shopping at Joe's for a couple of years now. Joe's is local and offers freshly butchered/cured, high quality meats in the shop and you can also order specialty cuts. In the past, we've picked up brisket to smoke. Today, we just picked up some fresh ground beef to make hamburgers. They are currently taking orders for Thanksgiving turkey!The shop also sells wine, some cheese, prepared salads, bbq spices and sauce and just about everything you'd need to fix a gourmet dinner. Today, I was happy to see fresh pasta (reasonably priced) and beautiful specialty mushrooms. They also make deli-style sandwiches to order and there is a small area to eat inside. I haven't tried the sandwiches. The clerks are anxious to serve and efficient. There's plenty of street parking early in the day, but good luck."

Mecca Market

★★★★☆ 4 (11) • $$$$

"Mecca has the best flatbread in the state - hands down. I have been shopping here for a couple of years and I always pick up a 3-pack of the flatbread - reasonably priced at $2.99. Mecca is located in an old strip mall just off route 40. The grocery store is packed with food for Middle East cuisine. I pick up ingredients that I can't find elsewhere for stuffed grape leaves and other Greek dishes. I find specialty oils and cheeses for cooking. The prices are good. They also offer a limited assortment of fresh Middle Eastern pastries and cookies which I have not tried. The staff is always super friendly and will help you located items. The store is never crowded and there is plenty of parking."

Moody's Butcher Shop

★★★★☆ 4 (45) • $$

"Five Star meats and service. I really enjoyed the different meats I've had from Moody's. My wife makes a crock pot dish using the thick cut boneless pork chops (with pork stuffing and no sugar apple pie filling) that turns out fantastic with the meat having a great savory flavor. I also picked up some of the breakfast sausage that is not too spicy, but with enough flavor to wake up your taste buds! The folks behind the counter were very helpful and freezer wrapped everything I ordered. No waiting all day for service either! And when I mentioned it was my first time shopping at this location, they told me to pick out a FREE package of bacon! I don't know if they do that for all first time guests, but I hadn't even made a large purchase. I was very appreciative!So why not five stars on my rating? Well a couple things. The place just needs a makeover. It may seem a bit trite to knock off a star for appearance, but if you have been to the Zionsville location, that place is beautifully laid out with far more options on displays that are neat and clean and filled with artisanal items that might go well with your purchase. That store sets the standard for all meat shops! So, even though this place sells the same quality meats and the folks are nice, it just doesn't draw you in like the place to the north.And the location is a bit of a problem for visitors who want to turn left out of their parking lot. The shop sits next to a hill that has definite blind spots for traffic coming from the north. I had to have my wife watch to the right while I waited for an opening in traffic from the left. Lots of traffic with no center lane to pull into. So, if you want high quality meats at very reasonable prices, stop by here....and maybe get some free bacon!Review #2267"

Don's Butcher Shop

★★★★★ 4.6 (40)

"Don's Butcher shop is the only place I'll get my steaks from. They have the TAMAHAWK steak! It's huge and picture perfect for grilling. They only let 7 people at a time into the store and their face mask policy is awesome. It's so clean and everyone is so nice. The quality of meat is on point. I would never shop anywhere else. They also have all the staples; hamburger, pork chops, filet mignon, Amish chicken, etc. There's a small pantry area with steak sauce, seasoning's, and potatoes. Don's was recommended to me by a friend who does grilling competitions and says he'll only use their brisket. I can see why all the meat loving guys like Don's. Their cuts of meat are far superior to your Kroger and Meijer variety and priced about the same. If you follow them on Facebook you might be able to catch the flash sales they have in the family area like $1.99 hamburger or .99 chicken. Love Don's! I'm definitely a lifer customer."

Hoosier Heritage Farm

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"I had no idea this place existed. The farm has this little self service shop. There are a few freezers in the shop that you can choose your beef/poultry/pork products from. There's a price chart and calculator available to tally up your total. Then you can pay via cash or check by dropping payment in the box on the wall or you can pay via PayPal or Venmo. There are also some other goods like spices, insulated totes, and clothing for sale. There are also plastic bags available free of charge if you need them."

Claus' German Sausage and Meats

★★★★★ 4.6 (73) • $$

"This place is legit. The owners or at least the guy working the counter is from Frankfurt. When you walk in the amazing smell of various sausages hits you full on. Then you HAVE to order all sorts of them. Everything is clearly hand made. I needed ground pork and they ground it on the spot for me. My new favorite store in Indy!"

Tyner Pond Farm

★★★★★ 4.9 (17) • $$$

"Tyner Pond is the place to get local meat. The prices are just a skosh more than chain grocery stores, but look: You're paying a couple of extra dollars for beef, chicken, pork and lamb that was nurtured and humanely raised on a nice farm in central Indiana. And you can taste the difference! These animals lived a happy life. If you're able, please support local farms and buy local meat.My standard order always includes ground beef, because it's deliciously fatty but not too fatty. Their ground beef cooks up just right. I also love all of their pork products that I've tried thus far, including pork chops, bacon and pulled pork. Their pulled pork is smoked and precooked, so all you have to do is warm it up and enjoy. It's amazing all by itself or with barbecue sauce. Honestly, I'm getting hungry just thinking about the pulled pork.Tyner Pond also sells grass-fed raw butter, fresh eggs (including duck eggs), chicken stock, raw cheese, lard, and sometimes food, like jarred meat sauce and soups.It's easy to place an order online via the Tyner Pond website. How it works is that if it's your first order, they will send you your products packaged in one of their signature red Tyner Pond Farm insulated bags. You keep the bag, and the next time you place an order, you put your red bag out on your porch on the morning of your delivery day, and they will put your order inside the bag. So easy! If you forget to put your red bag out on your porch, no worries. They will deliver your order in a new red bag. And then you have two red bags (or however many bags, depending on how many time you forgot to put your bag out). It's all very casual and yet professional. And it's always a delight to see your red bag stuffed full of delicious food. I love Tyner Pond Farm!"

Owen’s Butcher Block

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Nice little butcher shop with good prices on the meats ( beef chicken including fish also )"

Myers' Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (58) • $

"This business is a combo of small market, butcher shop, and deli with dine in seating. The west end of the shop is devoted to a seating area while the east end is filled with displays of local products including canned items (jellies etc.) and candies. They also have some fresh bread and baked items.The left side of the market has the meats and cheeses available to order. They had several folks working behind the counter to be able to keep up with the customers. I had already eaten before stopping in here to shop, so I passed on getting a sandwich or soup. I find it quite ingenious to offer lunch meals as a way to supplement the market when a lot of folks don't have the devices necessary to keep meats fresh in their offices if they shop at lunch. Maybe seeing the counters full of great looking options may bring them back for a purchase before dinner.Review #3628"

Dave's Meat Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (10) • $$

"I've shopped here many times mostly for meats to cook out on the grill, I have bought their pork BBQ, beef BBQ, tuna salad, chicken salad, pork chops, chicken breast, thick cut bacon, beef hot dogs, sub sandwiches, various steaks, and I'm sure a few things I am forgetting. This business has been here a very long time, and I would guess it probably looks the same way it did almost 50 years ago, but in an old fashioned good way, ha. The building is old, the parking lot is small and sometimes difficult to navigate, as there is a constant flow of vehicles in and out. The inside is small and lined with meat counters in the front, breads on the right, and coolers filled with cold drinks, fresh brown eggs, milk, and other items at the rear. So there is not much room inside, and sometimes the lines are too the door. Seems most people in line just buy a few meats for a special dinner that night. While the large orders are assembled after hours and available for pick up at the side door. This is a locally owned and family operated, real butcher shop. It's not fancy like an expensive chain store might be, but what it lacks in looks, it makes up for in fresh and great tasting meats. The owner can cut you specific sizes of a meat if you wish. They stay very busy and are well known to the locals, as one of the best meat shops around anywhere. They also sell large quantities of meats in many various packages, and can custom design a package just for you. Such as 25 lbs of mixed beef, 50 lbs of pork and beef, or even 100 lbs of pork, beef, and chicken. Those are just examples, but they can fill your freezer with anything cuts of meats you want. The more you buy the lower the cost goes. I do not recall ever getting a bad cut of meat from here. It is always very fresh, a good cut, cooks well, is juicy, tasty, and ends up making a great meal. This is an authentic old time, old style butcher shop, that you normally only see in small towns nowadays, and it is worth the time to stop in and buy your meat here instead of from a large retail franchise chain store."

Smoking Goose

★★★★★ 4.7 (86) • $$

"This time of year, you'll find us at Smoking Goose (or Goose the Market) stocking up on stocking treasures and Hoosier snacks to send to our family in Texas. The best gifts are food, right?This location is chock full of edible treasures ranging from pickles and cheeses and flavored nuts and chutneys. You can procure a top notch cheese board for entertaining, grab a delicious sandwich and peruse the freezer for their frequent meat sales. You'll also find a variety of fish products, dessert snacks like Frittle and more.The staff is friendly and equally enthusiastic about locally made products."

The Meat Shop

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (26) • $$

"Beautiful ribeye steaks at a great price!!We enjoyed our steaks. The service was weird. We weren't sure if we were going to be helped and stood around like fools until a lady finally appeared. Apparently, the butchers aren't there to work the counter and they do an excellent job of ignoring you.... but they have great stuff and great prices! They have lots of frozen appetizer type stuff, too, in addition to exotic ingredients."

Horner's Butcher Block

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21) • $$

"Great selection of deli meats and specialty foods. They even have a good selection of cheeses and pickles. A great butcher shop with good selection of ham, roast beef, ground beef and other meats. This is the best butcher shops in the area.P.S. I have been here numerous times in 2017 as well and plan on coming back even more."

Gold Cleaver Meat Market

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Oh my goodness! As I stepped foot inside this shop for the very first time I was greeted not only by those behind the counter, but by the delicious smell as well! The young ladies behind the counter were very helpful and everything looked delicious! After looking at everything, I kept my order to just a bottle of Raspberry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, which I plan to use to marinate Pork Chops and also got a pound of Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Sausages. Be sure to sign up for the rewards program! I plan to return frequently!"

Moodys Butcher Shop

★★★★☆ 3.8 (28)

"This is a great little spot for fresh meat and fish. They even have beef bones to make bone broth or in my case pho. Very friendly staff but pricey!! If you're looking for anything for a special occasion- I would recommend it. Pro tip: Come on Monday for 20 percent off freezer section."

Goose The Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (781) • $$

"I always have the BEST experience when visiting Goose The Market! Every time we step through the door, we are greeted warmly by multiple employees. This place literally has everything you need to have a good day. Sandwiches, wine, charcuterie and gelato! I love grabbing a sandwich and taking it down to the wine cellar to enjoy! The best sandwich on the menu, in my opinion, is the Batali!"

Knightstown Locker

★★★★☆ 3.7 (6)

"I wanted "good" steaks for my sons birthday. They had fresh and frozen ribeyes to select from. The fresh case is only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the others days frozen meat is always available. They blend their own products so they are truly unique. They have pork, venison and beef products. The freezer was filled with Brats, beef sticks and jerky. I tried out the jalapeño cheddar brats. The lady behind the counter, helped me select 7 fresh Ribeyes that were rarely uniform in size so they would all grill similar times on Blackstone grill. What do you call a female butcher? Butress? I digress.Awesome local business and you KNOW this is quality and where is came from."

Archers Meat Packing

★★★★☆ 3.8 (12) • $$

"A friend of mine took his deer here to get it butchered.DELICIOUS! He shared some of the chili he made out of the ground meat, and some of the deer salami (like a hard summer sausage). Yum. My friend said the ground deer meat made excellent burgers too. This particular deer was killed cleanly, and as humanely as possible, with a head shot, and wasn't too old or too big, so that had a lot to do with the quality of the meat. But the seasoning and construction of the salami/summer-sausage also showed that this processor knows their stuff."

101 meat shop

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Came here for the first time, was a wonderful experience. They sell chicken, lamb/goat, all types of fish, and more meats. The store was clean, spacious, and was definitely very hygienic. The two employees upfront were extremely kind and helpful. I asked about their food and they showed me what the different meats looked like, and explained their various pre seasoned and marinated meats that they had ready-to-go.Definitely recommend coming here!"

The Fresh Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8)

"Carmel has a new fancy grocery store! The Fresh Market is a step up from that other big grocery store down the street. (You know the one.) The Fresh Market is new, it's shiny, it has six different kinds of kombucha and 12 different kinds of vegan yogurt and 18 different kinds of nuts in the bulk bin aisle. Ahhhhh! Things are as they should be.I visited The Fresh Market on opening day, and I was very impressed. They have lots of hot, prepared items that you can eat at the tables located in the market, or take to go. Things like burritos, salads, paninis and more. There were also many grab-and-go items, like freshly made pizzas, empanadas and rice bowls. The bakery area was looking good and I had to leave quickly before I grabbed one of the berry parfaits or slices of cake I saw chillin' in the refrigerated case.There's a wine and beer section, thankfully. I wouldn't come here to find an obscure wine, but this place will do in a pinch if you need a good bottle to bring to a party or bring to your face to enjoy yourself.We only picked up some sweet treats this time (Hi-Chew, chocolate-covered almonds and boba tea in a bottle), but we will definitely be back many times to visit this awesome grocery store."

Old Major Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"Look for Old Major at the Farmers Markets in the summer all over town! They are usually serving up Biscuits & Gravy that are OFF THE CHARTS GOOD. (White Cheddar & Chorizo in that gravy...YESSSSS!) Some markets have the best biscuit breakfast sandwich cooked to order as well. Some weeks they have a special combo of a new sausage paired with a cheese or sauce to make a delicious twist on the traditional sandwich. If one is offered, I suggest you try it because it's not around every week.During the winter, you can order the sausage on their website or market wagon. Also, you can order dinners for two on the website...these ARE complete dinners ... just like home made. The menu each week is different and you pick up at the kitchen on Thursdays! Way to make my week easier OMM.Tips:* Often biscuits and gravy are not ready at the beginning of the market, so be prepared to check if you have your heart set on them.* The sandwich can be cooked to order, but during a rush there can be a wait.* They usually have the traditional stuff (traditional bacon, wisconsin bratwurst, breakfast sausage) but specialty items fluctuate in availability. You can email or order online (you can even check online to see what they have in stock)Lucky for everyone Old Major pops up around town in various places so I can't comment on staff, parking, etc. It really depends on the venue/market!"

The Harbour Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21) • $$$

"As far as convenience stores go this place is hard to beat! Some of the pricing is high, as expected, but there is one great surprise.This is the place to go for meat. They have a butcher shop inside. The quality and pricing on their meats are second to none! I've purchased several steaks, roasts, pork chops etc and never once was disappointed. It's hard to beat filet mignon for $14.99/lb."

Saint Adrian Meats & Sausage

★★★★★ 4.9 (14)

"Indiana has the best butcher shops and Saint Adrian Meats & Sausage is one of those shops. They have a location on the square in Lebanon. Their hours are limited (only opened Thursday - Saturday). Morgan was clerking when I stopped by today and described where the meats are sourced. All the meats come from This Old Farm north of Lebanon except for the chicken which comes from an Amish farm on the border of Indiana and Ohio. The meat arrives fresh and the final processing happens at the shop.In the shop, they carry most cuts of beef, pork, lamb and chicken. They are known for their specialty sausages which come with natural casings. Meats can be purchased fresh or frozen. They also offer special bulk packages (for freezing.) they also carry a limited amount of locally sourced sauces and rubs in the shop. Prices are really reasonable for freshly sourced products. I stocked up!Morgan said that they have a rewards program that you can sign-up for and gives you future discounts based on purchases."
